Water marks and stains on your precious leather? Let our expert leather cleaners make them shiny again!

Joe May is one of Atlanta’s best leather cleaners with specialized expertise in cleaning leather goods, making them good as new! We service Lawrenceville Highway, Downtown Decatur, Peachtree Battle, and Lavista Road in Atlanta, Georgia.

How to Clean Leather: Our Leather Cleaning Process

Leather is a very attractive, hard-wearing, and costly material that can be used in various applications. There’s leather furniture and sofa, leather upholstery, luggage, saddles, hats, and the list goes on. 

Genuine leather is also usually more expensive to purchase. But despite its price and lavish appeal, leather is arguably the most durable and highly resistant to stains. But this doesn’t mean they’re immune to stains. 

At Joe May, we can treat your leather garments right using our safe and efficient cleaning process. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Inspection

The first step in our leather cleaning process is to inspect the garment to determine its type because doing so will tell us what cleaning product we should use. We’ll also check the condition of your garment and any specific stains or damage that require special attention. 

Step 2: Cleaning

After inspection, we move to the cleaning process. We use a specialized cleaning solution to gently clean the leather garment, removing any dirt, dust, or stains. Unlike popular home remedies like baking soda, white vinegar, cream of tartar, and lemon juice which can be harsh on delicate leather surfaces, our cleaning solution is specifically designed for leather garments and is safe to use.

Step 3: Conditioning

Cleaning and conditioning your leather go hand-in-hand, so using a conditioner such as leather cream will help preserve it and prevent future stains. So in this process, we use a special conditioner to restore the natural oils of your leather, keeping it soft, supple, and looking new. Our conditioner is gentle and helps to prevent any cracking or peeling of the leather. 

Step 4: Inspection and Touch Up

After conditioning, we inspect the garment one more time to ensure that it is clean and restored to its original condition. There may have been a few spots that could further be shined or cleaned. So if there are any areas that require touch-ups, we will do so at this stage.

Step 5: Final Inspection

The final step in our leather cleaning process is to conduct one last final inspection of your garment before returning it to you. We do this just to be 100% sure that we’ve not missed anything.

"I returned a shirt that still had a stain on it. They retried getting the stain out and it’s much better than it was. (Complete removal is not their fault.) The customer service is commendable. They are always pleasant and efficient. The way they communicate the status of your order is impressive. It’s a pleasure doing business with them."

Types of Leather Cleaning Services We Offer

Unlike regular clothes, caring for your leather garments can be a little more challenging, and you must take specific precautions to ensure that they remain in good condition and are not permanently damaged by water, spills, or stains.

Wherever you are in Atlanta, we’re always available if you need us to do the following services:

Leather Jacket Cleaning

When soaked, leather becomes fragile and can tear easily. That’s why cleaning a leather jacket at home can be risky and needs to be done with care. It’s best you leave major cleanings to our leather care professionals. We’ve got the knowledge and experience of how to clean both the leather shell and fabric linings without damaging them.

Leather Shoe Cleaning

We all have that favorite pair of leather shoes we’d love to wear on all types of occasions. But what happens when it gets dirty and stained? Bring your tired and scruffy shoes to our Atlanta store locations and we’ll take it from there. From high-end designer shoes to work and sports shoes, Joe May can expertly clean and condition leather shoes using microfiber cloth and the finest products.

Leather Purse Cleaning

Purses can easily pick up stains from being carried around in our handbags daily. They can get powdery and smelly on the inside too. As the expert leather cleaner in Atlanta, Joe May offers cleaning and moisturizing treatment for your luxury leather purses. We’ll only use a gentle yet effective deep clean approach for your purse and use a soft cloth to remove liquid stains.

Leather/Suede Boot Cleaning

Leather or suede boots are often expensive and even irreplaceable pieces. Seasonal wear, fluctuating climates, and improper storage can leave marks on their leather surface, and even damage them permanently. Suede and leather boot cleaning is among Joe May’s signature services. We’ll make sure to keep their fabrics intact during the cleaning process.

Frequently Asked Questions about our leather cleaning

Does the cleaning service include recoloring?

Refinishing or recoloring of leather jackets is included in the cleaning service, along with conditioning the leather garment. However, not all pieces can be refinished. If the leather is multi-colored, it may require additional time and cost. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to utilize the button in the bottom right corner of your screen to send pictures of your leather jacket.

How long will it take to clean my leather garment?

Typically, it takes 10-14 business days to complete the service once we receive the garment in our shop. The service time is calculated from the time of receipt. The cleaning service usually takes 10-14 business days, while alterations and repairs may require more time to complete.

Can you clean or restore vintage, historic, or custom garments?

Absolutely, we offer cleaning and alteration services for such items. However, please note that these items require delicate handling, and thus, the processing time may be longer. Once we receive the item, we can estimate a timeframe and provide a detailed evaluation through our text service. Please feel free to send photos of the item using the text service, but please be aware that certain items may not be serviceable, and shipping fees may still apply.

Is it possible to fix tears in leather jackets?

Absolutely!  we can usually repair tears by applying a larger patch on the backside of the leather to reinforce the affected area. The torn pieces are then glued to the new patch, leaving an outline of the tear. Please note that leather repairs are visible, but we do touch up the color as much as possible for all tear repairs.
